Here's a couple
Gary you really need to add in the "twist off factor" when judging FOC on square back canoes!
rutman you have a pm!
Groundpounder, I am a bad one for keeping a record of my projects. I just recently started trying to keep an album for things I have made for myself and others.
It's always enjoyable to do tinker jobs and it never really seems like work!
I took some pic's of a couple things I have around!
This is a brisket spreader, handier than a stick sometimes!
A gambrel as araz put it, Stainless, easy to clean and store!
Some rough yet functional rod holders for the 12'.
A spin tester!
How about some pic's from the other tinkerers on here!
Probably some pretty neat stuff out there!

Buckshot, at first scrolling down I thought your brisket spreader was the chain saw 
. Then seeing your spin tester, I'm wondering how you couple that to the spin cycle on that washing machine its sitting on 
. Seriously now, it all looks like really good work. I'm still trying to get up some more pics myself.

Made this cause my hands shake when I am putting glue on my new fletching, I pick them off with tweezers and put them in my ez fletcher. Its from an office clipboard.
Works great for me,
Merry Christmas, Stosh

This has been our most thought out project to date.
It is ever evolving. We hope that it is as close to perfect as possible.
The stand was created because of 2 things.
Firstly, hanging a tree stand is a pain in the butt.
We have all balanced a heavy tree stand while trying to
use our short arms to reach around and get the chain or
strap or rope. The stand can slip or fall. Even though we
use a safety harness the job is still awkward. Imagine how
easy it would be to mount a 1.5 lb bracket using a seatbelt
strap. This doesn't make my arms any longer but it is easier
to balance while struggling. Now all you have to do is pull up
the stand by the rope that is attached to it and your belt.
Slide it into the bracket and climb in!
Secondly, stand theft is a major concern. These aliens
represents the lowest form of scum life on the planet.
With this stand syatem you can take the stand with you
without making a lot of noise. The bracket can stay in
the tree until the next time you need to use it. These
brackets are cheap....maybe $10 canadian Put up a
few brackets and tree steps and only build 1 stand.
They are light and set up very easily.
I hope that the next series of pics outline the basic idea
of the stand. The stands are 24" x 24". The new batch of
stands that I am making are 30" x 24". The mesh is 1 x1
steel mesh that is used for reinforcing concrete. The new
batch is 2 x 2 mesh for lighter weight. Make the seat hieght
what ever you want. Make sure it is not too tall! I use
stainless cable that I swedge to the right length. I put
the cable right around the frame so I don't have to worry
about any bolts. Use a proper swedging tool! Do not use
vicegrips or a vice! You should be able to rent one from
an industrial rental place.
I hope you enjoy the pics. If you have any questions
please let me know.

When I worked at the machine shop I made a couple of cannons after hours. The first one is a .32 cal and this is no "kit". Barrel and spokes are stainless, frame is steel painted black, and mount and wheel nuts are brass. I'll post a pic of the second cannon when I get it. I made it a bit larger, Its projectiles are golf balls. I can drive a green on a par 5 in 1 .
